Mini Mancat Monday

Hey kitties! Fagin here. For today's Mini Mancat Monday, Fagin is going to talk to you about the importance of finding warm places to snooze. Especially when its BRRRRRRR! COLD outside. It's been very COLD here (Mommy says it was only 9 degres on Friday morning when she went dayhunting) and that is weird because usually its warm here in Georgia. Did you kitties know that if it gets COLD enough, that ICE will fall out of the sky? YEP!! ICE!! It did that Saturday!! Brrrrrr!!

Anyway, it's very important to find WARM, SNUGGLY places to sleep when it's cold and just look kitties! ME, the Fagin, has found the bestest, warmest place!!

When the beans turn on the dish cleaner, it makes the counter WARM and SNUGGY and ME loves it!!! SNOOZE SNOOZE SNOOZE!!! AH!!!! Mommy laughed at me because she said only FAGIN would use a coffee maker for a pillow but ME did not care cause FAGIN was warm!! AH!!! Warm sleepy places are the bestest!!! Have a good Monday everyone!!

PS: Mommy says I will not be doing Mini Mancat Mondays much anymore because FAGIN will be ONE YEAR OLD the first week of February!! ME gonna be big mancat!! YAY!! Mommy says ME can has a PARTY too!! To celeybrate!! And that I can has a girlfriend like Captain Jack has Boo or like Dante has Pearl. ME nervous about that. What if girl kitties do not like ME? Oh wow - being a big mancat may be harder than FAGIN thought!!

Tabby Tuesday

Heya kitties (and woofies and buns and beans). It's Tuesday again and this week Tuesday means it's Tabby Tuesday and that means that I, Dante Barbossa, took over the bloggie to give you an update. As you may remember from last week, I was suffering from the sniffles and coughs due to a nasty cold....
Well kitties, I did get better by sleeping and relaxing a lot and even taking med-a-shun so I thought I was cured. I felt so much better that I ran around with Fagin and attacked things. Well, last night Mommy came home and AH-CHOOOOOOOO! Yep, my cold is back. Mommy sighed and loved on me and told me I needed more med-a-shun. The only problem was Daddy was off night hunting and cooking FOODs and would not be home until almost midnight! So Mommy was brave and she pilled me herself without any help. And I was a very good mancat and let her pill me without fighting at all!!

After that I went to sleep because my cold tablets make me very tired. I dreamed of the lovely Pearl and only got up when Daddy came home about 11pm because he smelled like cheezburgers. Sadly he did not bring us anything home (grrrrr, bad Daddy) but it was nice to get Daddy cuddles any way. I hope that I feel better soon. I am tired of sneezing and snorting and coughing and sniffling and such. Have a good Tuesday every kitty!!

Our New Job

Hey kitties! How was everyone's weekend? Ours was very busy because, can you believe it, we kitties has a new weekend job and it's all Daddy's fault!!

You see, our Daddy loves to cook FOODs. Yep. Well, he has been out of the resturant biz for a long time (he works in puters right now as his full time job) and was looking to get back into FOODs again at a top rated resturant. To do this, Daddy went to a resturant that just opened here that is run by a "Top Chef" guy (Daddy says that we used to watch this guy on the picture box with him at nights) and told them to hire him. Well, they did and now Daddy is night hunting weekends (as well as day hunting) and abandoning Mommy. He says our new job is to make sure Mommy does not get lonely on Friday nights and Saturdays while he goes to work and cooks FOODs. We are now on Mommy Entertainment Duty on weekends. It's okay though kitties, cause Daddy's new job, look what they make!!Yep, this means that we can has cheezburger as our payment for Mommy Entertainment Duty!! YAY!!! Daddy brought home Mommy a turkey burger from the resturant Friday so she could try the food and she shared with us!! YAY!! We may like our new job after all!!

Thursday Thirteen

Hi kitties, Dante here *AHHH-CHOOO.* In honor of my cold *sniff, sniff* I am going to do this week's Thursday Thirteen. I am going to call it *sniff*

Dante's 13 Good Things About Having a Cold!!

1. You get checked on a lot so you get a lot of attention.
2. Mommy gives you snuggles and asks if you are feeling better.
3. Daddy pets you lots and even snorkels your tummy.
4. You can sneeze on the dogs and hope to contaminate them with your cold germs.
5. You get extra treats when you sneeze and look pitiful at your beans.
6. You can take lots of extra naps.
7. You can lay claim to the warm sleep spots.
8. You do not have to play with the kitten if you do not want to.
9. You can snorkel at the dogs and hope to contaminate them with your cold germs.
10. Cold med-a-shun means sleepy Dante means lots more naps.
11. Since your are sick, your beans will carry you everywhere so you do not have to walk unless you want to.
12. The lovely Pearl comes and brings you chick-hen soup and nip tea.
13. The lovely Pearl comes and visits you and snuggles with you until you feel better.

Sneezing on Wednesday

We were going to do a Santa Paws Wordless Wednesday post today but instead we have a sick kitty that Mommy had to attend to. Sadly, Dante's AHH-CHOOOs are back and the poor ginger boy is sneezing and snuffling!!

When Mommy got home from day hunting last night she was giving us some of our special nom nom nom treats (aka Pounce) and Dante sneezed right at her! AAHHH-CHOOOO!!! And then he snuffled and snorted too. The next thing he knew Mommy was calling for Daddy to "come and hold Dante so I can pill him, please." Now Dante is a bit strange in that as long as he is in Daddy's arms, he will pretty much let you do anything, including shoving a nasty cold tablet down his throat! Ick!! Dante is WEIRD!!

After that, Dante spent most of the evening looking happily sleepy and drugged from the AHH-CHOOOO med-a-shun. Mommy thinks he will be better soon but Fagin is sad because Dante is just not up to playing with him. Please send good thoughts that Dante gets better soon, that Fagin does not go insane (more insane) from not having anyone to play with and no way to get the kitten energy out, and that Captain Jack does not maim Fagin when he tries to get the Captain to play by jumping on him and biting him. It's going to be very interesting around the Black Furrball until the First Mate is in tip top shape again, that is for sure!!!

Fagin's New Nickname

Hello everyone! We were going to post some of our Santa Paws pictures today, but after last night we decided that we must tell you about Fagin's new nickname. You see, its been raining cats and dogs here lately (or Beauxs and Dantes as Mommy told Daddy last night) so Mommy thinks that is what led to Fagin's new nickname. We'll start from the beginning.

Us kitties were hanging out on the screened porch last night when Mommy came out onto the porch to get the woofies their dinner (our dry crunchies are kept in waterproof, sealed containers out on the porch). Anyway, crawling near the food containers was a slug. Mommy groaned and blamed the rain for driving the creatures inside where it's not totally wet (just damp). Anyway, she decided to feed the woofies and then come out with something to move the slug back outside. Well, it could not have been 2 minutes later when she came back out with a dustpan to move said slug and noticed that the slug had vanished but that Fagin was standing right where the slug has been.

Yep, we think Fagin ate the slug! EWWWWW!!! Doesn't he know that slugs are nasty?? The kitten has no sense, none at all! YUCK!! So in honor of this occasion, Fagin's new nickname is SLUGBOY!!

We're Back!

Hey everykitty!! We wanted to let everyone know that we are finally back to blogging after our extended vacation. Mommy has been home with us for the last 12 days and we decided to lay on her and cuddle with her so we kinda let blogging go by the wayside for the last couple of weeks. Now though, we are back and we have missed all of you very much!! We hope everyone had a great holiday season and that Santa Paws was kind to everyone (YES! He did bring FAGIN presents - YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!). We'll have some pictures showing you just how we spent our holidays tommorow but until then, as Fagin would say - YAY!! We are back!!!!
